Natalee Holloway Case: New Evidence Leads To Re-Arrests

Undisclosed new evidence in Natalee Holloway case leads to the re-arrest of the three original suspects.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Three young men previously detained as suspects in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway were re-arrested Wednesday, the Aruban public prosecutor's office said, citing new evidence in the case. Joran van der Sloot of the Netherlands and two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in voluntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily harm that resulted in the death of Holloway, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Natalee disappeared on the island of Aruba back in May of 2005. A native of Mountain Brook, Alabama, Natalie was on a trip with high school classmates celebrating their graduation. She was last seen leaving a bar with the three men a few hours before her plane was scheduled to leave.

In April, investigators from the Netherlands dug around the home of van der Sloot's family for two days without revealing what prompted the search. Then in May, Dutch and Aruban investigators visited the home where Deepak and Satish Kalpoe live with their parents for what authorities termed an "inspection," without revealing details.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday where the new "evidence" will be presented by prosecutors to the Judge.

Hopefully this is will be a turning point in the Natalie Holloway case. Her parents, family, and friends deserve to know what happened to Natalee and that justice will finally be served.
